The Purpose of Life

[Tubby]

You spending your whole life on a forum trolling isn't going to solve anything either.  Keep bitch/whining/crying/trolling/whatever you wanna do, you aren't going to change shit.  But keep going, this thread has given me a couple of grins. 

So I'm not "going to change shit", Rick? You know that for a fact?

You don't know me. But anyway, it's that exact attitude which prevents us from 'changing shit'.

Maybe you yourself can 'change shit' if you really put your mind to it.

almost kinda funny how anyone even replies in this thread considering Tubby is obviously just here to troll and disagree on anything anyone says because he knows all, and writes a novel in reply to any disagreement or such.  Should just lock this topic and be done with it already.

That's right, Rick. Let's just sweep it all under the carpet, because thousands of people all around the world aren't really oppressing, rejecting, and killing each other because of their own personal (usually religious) beliefs.

Yes, let's just be done with this topic and lock it already.

That will surely solve the problem.

He's lonely and just wants to have some attention.

You're probably right, Yahoo.

We all feel like this from time to time, but that's no reason to dismiss the discussion of theological (or atheological) concepts around the philosophical / theological conflicts we're arguing as "bitch/whining/crying/trolling/whatever".

I think we need to practice some tolerance here, and understand that my ideas may not suit your ideas, and vice versa.

Maybe I'm right. Maybe you're right.

That's what this discussion is all about.

Irony defined.

Not wanting to mess up the discussion which I'm finding a bit interesting. I don't know about plants but having been a beekeeper for over 50 years I have to say I'm totally amazed at those little buggers communication (and a lot of other)  skills (as well as a lot of other insects )

I'll bet that every "skill" your bees display will ultimately relate back to the procreation of their colony.

Am I right or wrong? Be honest...

Honest? OK.  I have to say not really...

I've seen bees starve to death with all the food they could possibly ever need less than 10" away from where they are... Like humans, the skills they display don't always translate into survival - or advancement of their colony...

Kinda like Jersey Shore?

Nothing has made me prouder to be a southerner than that show.

I live in what we call "reality".  You discussing trolling on the forums and basically disagreeing with anyone that has an idea/opinion other than your own, is not going to change anything in this world.  But keep building up your post count and spending endless hours on here and I'm sure you'll eventually get something out of it...I think?

Trolling? I thought it was called debate. But never mind - people with nothing constructive to add to a debate will usually resort to personal attacks. It's human nature.

I understand that, just as I understand that it's natural for a threatened bee to sting (am I wrong Duke?).

Do you have anything else?

Could it be (bee lol) that those bees are sacrificing themselves for the greater good of the colony? In which case the colony's genetic inheritance - which is perhaps analogous to the colony of cells which make up an individual human being - has a greater chance of surviving / procreating?

I think what he means is that it's ridiculous as fuck to compare the instincts/behaviors of bees to humans. And yeah, it is.

Not a chance - entire colony starved. And. DON'T call me Duke.

Tubby. You're Nurse Ratchet. Plain and simple. Your passive aggressive digs on people belie your righteousness. Go bring up your debates at your local club. See how people behave to your BS.

[Laurelin]

Tubby,

Can you state your position on the purpose of life in one post. Im having trouble tracking all your responses here and there. Please make a concise paragraph of what your opinion is,

Thanks!
